5. That the proposed use will not adversely affect the General Plan of
<br />the city or any specific plan applicable to the area of the proposed
<br />use.
<br />The proposed rectory will not adversely affect the General
<br />Plan. The site has a LR-7 land use designation which primarily
<br />consists of single-family residences, but also allows for
<br />neighborhood serving uses such as churches, schools and
<br />community centers. Approval of the CUP will be consistent
<br />with several goals and policies of the General Plan. Policy 2.2
<br />of the Land Use Element encourages land uses that
<br />accommodate the City's needs for goods and services.
<br />Furthermore, Goal 1 of the Public Facilities Element promotes
<br />the need for sufficient public, cultural, recreational,
<br />educational, social service and related facilities to meet the
<br />needs of the community. The rectory will provide services to
<br />Santa Ana residents and visitors and will allow the Church to
<br />expand to address its growing congregation
<br />Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
<br />(CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines, the project is categorically exempt from further
<br />review per Section 15303 (Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small
<br />Structures). This exemption applies to the construction of small structures, which in an
<br />urbanized area is defined as a building not exceeding 10,000 square feet in floor area,
<br />on sites zoned for such use, not involving the use of significant amounts of hazardous
<br />substances, where all necessary public services and facilities are available and the
<br />surrounding area is not environmentally sensitive. The proposed building contains 6,372
<br />square feet and complies with the development standards of the R1 zoning district
<br />which allows for accessory church structures subject to approval by the Planning
<br />Commission. As a result, Categorical Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2018-24
<br />will be filed for this project.
<br />Section 3. The Applicant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold the City
<br />and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies,
<br />authorized volunteers, and instrumentalities thereof, harmless from any and all claims,
<br />demands, lawsuits, writs of mandamus, referendum, and other proceedings (whether
<br />legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative
<br />dispute resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and
<br />such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively "Actions"),
<br />brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents,
<br />departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek to
<br />modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by the
<br />City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, and
<br />instrumentalities thereof (including actions approved by the voters of the City) for or
<br />concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the Ralph M. Brown
<br />Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision
<br />Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or
<br />local constitution, statute, law, ordinance, charter, rule, regulation, or any decision of a
<br />Resolution No. 2020-01
